‘It’s okay to be white’ posters seen at Princeton

They are similar to those found at Tulane University, Harvard Square, and other universities across North America.

The posters are part of a 4chan campaign with the goal of making people “realize that leftists & journalists hate white people.” The movement, part of the website’s “politically incorrect” message board, has been described by the Washington Post as “part of an effort to spark racial division.”

At the University of Alberta, a Canadian university where these posters were recently placed outside the Native Studies building, President David Turpin grouped them among “several incidents of racism” that occurred around Halloween.

This incident comes seven months after anti-Semitic fliers were posted outside Princeton’s Center for Jewish Life.

Below, an excerpt from the 4chan thread outlining the groups’ strategy reveals they sought a “massive victory for the right in the culture war.”
